2011 Georgia Beltane Gathering

May 20-22, 2011

At Dragon Hills, near Carrollton, GA

 

What’s your passion?

 

Passion can take many forms.

Whether it’s dancing, drumming, singing, herbs or arts and crafts…

Come to Beltane and share your passions with others.

 

 

Let us light your fire!

 

Please be aware this will be an Adult Only event and make arrangements for your children in advance.  No one under the age of 18 allowed, no exceptions.  If you are not 18 years of age on Friday, May 20, 2011 you will not be allowed in the gate.

 

We are sorry but there are no further work studies available for GA Beltane.

 

All pre-registrations must be paid before the gathering to avoid a $30.00 at the gate charge, no exceptions!  If you pre-register, but have not paid in advance, you will be charged

$30.00 at the gate.

Return to the Hills!

 

Dragon Hills is a beautiful site of rolling hills and nestled woods.  There are hot showers, sheltered areas if it rains, a truly magickal Circle upon the top of the hill, and a kick-ass drum circle.  Please bring your instruments, your joy, and your own personal magick.

Remember, this is ADULTS ONLY due to new site rules of no skyclad if anyone under 18 is present.  Food for Saturday’s feast will be provided free of charge to participants, but other meals are available for sale.  No food contribution is needed.

PRACTICAL MATTERS

PLEASE BRING: tent, sleeping bags, blankets, rain gear and clothing for both warm and cold weather, flashlight, snack foods, ritual gear, drums, and other musical instruments. Plan for a wide temperature range, even at this time of the year. Remember your feast gear and eating utensils (Styrofoam and other feast gear is no longer supplied!).

 

If you need to buy things before or during the gathering, please stop at one of the larger stores in town, rather than the small local convenience stores. It keeps the small stores able to supply their regular customers, and keeps the rumors and security hassles down.

 

FOOD

PLEASE NOTE NEW POLICY FOR DRAGON HILLS ONLY!!!

Although the kitchen is no longer open for SerpentStone to use, the landowners will be providing supper for us on Saturday, included in gathering cost.  NO FOOD CONTRIBUTIONS ARE NEEDED!

Any other meals are on your own.  The landowners will be selling food for other meals at reasonable prices if you wish.

 

COST

$20 per person* (plus 2 hours of volunteer service) if paid and postmarked before May 13, 2011

 

$30 per person* after May 13, 2011 and at the door (plus 2 hours of volunteer service)

 

REMEMBER, THIS GA BELTANE IS ADULT (18+) ONLY TO ALLOW A SKYCLAD OPTIONAL GATHERING.  (The Samhain gathering at this location will not allow skyclad, but will be family oriented.)

 

  

RULES TO LIVE BY

            Treat each other with respect, and respect all paths. Take care of those you come with, and respect the land, by leaving your campsite cleaner than you found it. Most of all, HAVE FUN!

            No illegal drugs, firearms, drunken behavior, bad attitudes, violence or other inappropriate behaviors will be condoned on the site. We DO enforce the no drugs rule, and the security team has active duty law enforcement officers serving among them, so don't bring them!

            No pets. Service dogs only will be permitted at the gathering site. All other pets will be refused at the gate, so please do not bring them.

            Please bring: positive attitudes, appropriate gear, and food for the potluck contribution! Please note: We are working very hard to keep our prices low, despite rising costs for sites, food, and fuel. If you can add something, even a dollar or two, to your registration, it may help someone else be able to attend. Community service: Each participant needs to contribute two hours of community service during the gathering. It is basically just a little of the background work that lets a gathering happen, and may include helping out with registration, heralding workshops or rituals, helping with the site, or cleanup. It's fun, and a great way to get to know folks better!

 

 An email confirming your registration and giving directions to the site will be sent about a week before the gathering if we have received your completed pre-registration form and your payment.
